Hi Stan,

Thanks for your response. I do have scanner documented, it's just adrag

to use. I can use "scanner -i servername" but will have to 'manually'
load each tape in turn, and they take hours. But if that's the only
way...

However when I try to mount one of these old tapes in a drive so I can
run Scanner, it refuses to load. Networker says "Will not be loaded
since pool "Unknown Pool" is not available. Presumably the pool no
longer exists. How might I find what it was so I can recreate it?

Before you cleared away those old savesets, did you back them up via"savegrp -O"? If so, then all you need to do is


nsrck -L7 -t time client_name

and replace "time" with the date when you did that backup and replace"client_name" with the name of the client who's metadata you wish torecover. This should be a lot easier than scanning back in the data.
